Parks

FACTOID: Did you know that the City of La Grande provides an acre of public park space for around every 40 of its citizens? How many other cities of any size can boast a remarkable ratio like that?!! For example, New York City, with its expansive park system including the incredible Central Park, supports about 276 of its citizens per acre of public parkland. Even Portland, renowned for its green spaces, has about 72 of its population per acre of public protected area.
